Professor Ted Weaver has been an obstetrician and gynaecologist for more than three decades and still finds the process of pregnancy and birth ‘endlessly fascinating’. Throughout his career, he’s developed a number of maternity units on the Sunshine Coast, along with building his own private practice. He’s held the prestigious role of President of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and is the Clinical Sub-Dean for Griffith University’s Sunshine Coast School of Medicine. We spoke with Ted about his career and why we need to focus on the first 2000 days of life.
